1969 Map of Sanderson SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Sanderson Canyon and the winding course of Sanderson Creek define this West Texas landscape during the late 1960s. The topography is dominated by steep-walled drainages, including Seminole Canyon and Rock Ravine Canyon, which illustrate the arid, dissected plateau of Terrell County. Human presence is concentrated at remote outposts such as Harrell Ranch and Carruthers Ranch, highlighting the region's long-standing reliance on large-scale ranching operations. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the north, following the natural grades provided by the canyon systems. This infrastructure, along with isolated landmarks like a Water Tank and Corral, provides a clear view of the logistical requirements for both transportation and livestock management in this sparsely populated territory.
